Senior AWS Migration Architect

I’m working on a senior contract opportunity with a major public-sector transformation programme, requiring an experienced AWS Migration Architect to lead a large-scale migration from VMware to AWS.

Key details:

• 5-month initial contract, with a strong possibility of extension
• Outside IR35
• UK-based, predominantly remote with occasional travel
• Immediate start (1-2 weeks)
• SC clearance preferred, or eligibility to obtain (BPSS required from day one)

The programme:

• Migration of approximately 200 Linux VMs from VMware to AWS across 50 VLANs.
• Modernisation of approximately 30 Legacy Ingres database and OpenROAD applications.
• Design and delivery of a secure, private AWS serverless architecture.
• Establishing a repeatable migration and modernisation approach.

• Extensive AWS architecture and large-scale migration experience.
• Strong AWS networking, VPC, Direct Connect and landing zone design.
• VMware-to-AWS migration experience.
• Serverless architecture and relational database modernisation.
• Experience leading technical design, engineering teams and customer stakeholders.

Desirable: Ingres, OpenROAD, Terraform, Ansible and AWS modernisation tooling experience.

I’m keen to speak with senior AWS architects who have led complex migration and modernisation programmes.
